The IS-7 is one of the rarest vehicles in War Thunder. It used to be overpowered when it first released, then it was just sorta ok. Now it's back to being very good.

The Rarest Soviet Heavy Tank - Hry
300k QnA soon
Let's gooo
Let’s go
Wooo, only imagine. Grats
Why u so epix?
Let’s gooo
"Yeah, this tank is pretty garbage, no one should play it" gets 10 nukes
"Yeah, this tank is very OP, should be uptiered, easy win" suffers the mighty wrath of a vengeful god
its the same with up tiers and down tiers
Because it sits on the edge between facing conventional tank shells vs APFSDS in more modern tanks.
This is definitely in the top three of the tanks you do not want to have a non pen or ricochet on
s h e l l s h a t t e r e d
Sadly almost no way you can pen this things
@@DyonisXseeing your shell shatter is so terrifying
@@somegirl9055 Seeing an Is-7 is a fking nightmare itself. The first time it was released, The fking thing trash my entire team with it holding 2 of the points alone. I only killed it by chance. You cant view and see the armor pattern of event vehicle at the time so it was guessing where to shoot. That and I never encountered any IS-3+ at the time.
This is Tigers for me currently
Speaking of french tanks, I was fighting against a once-in-a-blue-moon french majority enemy team a week ago and I have never seen such aggression and blood lust in warthunder.
I saw two Maus's getting evaporated instantly against french autoloaders and a whole flank of centurions and caernarvon getting absolutely folded by amx13-90s and lorraines.
Strangely enough it was an enjoyable game since little if any french players switched to playing CAS, just had to survive against entrenched lines of autoloading Somosa SM's and lorraines flanking like hellcats on crack.
That’s why France is one of my favorite tech trees to play, they have such great tech behind them to play aggressively consistently.
gaijin should do matches of nation vs nation, unbalanced but would be funny
Yea Germany 5.7 against France 5.7
@@dinochookproductions5190 They used too, axis vs allies sorta deal.
I swear, Spookston's random "tiptoeing" sound effect cracks me up for no reason all the time. It's just goofy to hear it and see a guy drive past.
Also road to 500k? Congratulats dude!
The piano every time a USH appeared got me lol
Yup, that and the SpongeBob sound effect
Day 21 of asking spookston to play the ikv 103
No
Doing gods work
no
That thing might as well be 1.0 and still suffer
Lol just watch his ikv 91 video you waste of time
Spookston never fails to put out great content! Congrats on 300k btw
I proceeded to ask the same question Spookston did at 10:57 when I bounced that shot on him.
With the DF015, I did not even see Spookston until he fired. When I saw where the round came from I was embarrassed to hell lmao. Glad to see a great edit came out of that.
Happy 300K!
11:18 that has to be one of my favourite edits on this channel so far. This entire episode seems like it has great editing!
The Maus is also feeling even better at 7.7 now
Well they moved all the things that can reliably kill it to 8.0
@@aiedenoldstien9751until they add AMX-10M now i can kill maus at spawn
@@carlostroiano6700wait how? Is that thing penetrate all buildings from your spawn into maus spawn area?
@@rizkidary837 K K K K K a wet French main dream my boi a wet dream..... nah just sinai things, spawn camping like 90% of the maps in this funcking game.
Always a Great day when Spookston uploads.
Love your editing spookston, it's really a great improvement to the entertainment quality of the videos
2:47 i dont care if that was unintentional, i applaud the skyrim like transition
thought i actually was gonna get the “hey you, you’re finally awake” clip lmao
Attempt/Day #28: KV-2 (ZiS-6), the 107mm has just about twice as much explosive filler as an IS-2, with the tradeoff of slightly less pen, still able to UFP a panther. The armor can save you but shouldn’t be relied on as it is the standard 75mm. Mobility is average for a KV.
“slightly less pen”
That gun bounces shots it should never bounce. Even against lower BRs.
KV-2 (ZiS-6) is something i missed out on. Spook oughtta play this
@@deadmau1958 It's not that great. The reload and non-existing turret traverse gets you killed very quick.
@@steffent.6477 oh.
amazing job on the edits and the 300k dude, i've been watching for like a year or 10 monthes and im very happy i found this channel lol, also i love the sound effects for the U-SH, it is indeed a little gargolyle.
Love the editing on this video. Well done Spookston🎉
Cool vid. Good to know where the mighty IS-7 stands. Still think you’d like the french M4A4 SA50 sherman. The solid shot on that is pretty fantastic for a non copy pasta firefly.
Isn't it silly how every other nation just has the Sherman but better
@@aiedenoldstien9751 i would say yes but that 76 stabilized is a bastard to play around. Never discount a stabilized gun when not much else is
@@arcanos9706 I don't. I just find it silly that literally every other sherman that has a 75 on it from a different nation is just a better 75.
Even if they aren't stabilized.
@@aiedenoldstien9751 yeah. It is silly. USA gets a 76 with 136mm of stabilized pen but Italy and GB get the 17 pounder, France gets the SA50 long 75, huh…
It pens Jumbos in the right circumstances too
I think that the IS 7 should be researchable. When it was available in the event , there weren't many players who received it . Gaijin could do something similar to the Maus Tank , making it researchable for a certain amount of time each year .
I agree
It would be cool if they did that with the Panther II, the Coliean, and the Tiger 2 105 too
Making it for during 2 days, Christmas Eve and Christmas day.
if they do I will actually play the USSR in this game
*that maus returning for each anniversary now so you can research it*: Bruh. Plus any event vehicle should stay one. and probabbly will cus Gaijin can make money off them.
congratulations on 300k! been here since 25k, absolutely love your content. Keep up the good work!
Love your vids and how you voice them, thats my best lullaby:) congratulates spookston!
Hey spooks thanks for another banger of yours,
Heres a tank that another viewer requested and that got me to: the STA-1/STA-2 (they function the same)
Having played them both these are very refreshing to use, they have decent mobilty, neutral steering, a decent reverse gear of 17 kph and M82 APHE at 6.3
As much as I love them, they are still insanely outclassed at 6.3, especially when facing an uptier. I love the 6.3 lineup dont get me wrong(Mostly bc Big derp Gun and funni overtiered plane) but the STA's definitely need a bit of love by Gaijin and get moved to at least 6.0 sinces theyre both essentially a worse Pershing
@@toxicmuggle5788they have different roles at 6.3.
Love these tanks
Sta1 mobility is so shit it made me quit japan for now
The grind event for the IS-7 was really painful. I think I spent around $45 chasing this Soviet dragon.
Even if you spent 45 bucks grinding it that's a very good profit margin if you ever chose to sell it
Really? I did the is-7 event in 3 days, it feels like it was the easiest crafting event we ever got!?
@@VEX_INCyou are smoking some good stuff + cap
@@VEX_INC I did it completely free and it was MISERABLE grinding.
0:57 i saw this and felt it for a moment.. >~
man i love the editing in this video especially! keep up the good work >:D
Congrats on 300k subs my dude, love to see you grow even more! ❤
When will the day come where Spookston finally plays the Radkampfwagen
This is one of your best videos! Really well edited.
the femur break scream really cracked me up (great video btw keep it up!)
I love your videos so much. They give me so much motivation to grind in War Thunder.
Loved the editing on this one! Great video
Also I think that watching you playing the T95 superheavy would be very funny
i love seeing people improve, keep up the good work Spookston
You thought we are not going to notice incredible editing in this one? Nice work
3:35 kills a player called circumcision_pro
"I don't know why they feel so cocky about engaging an IS-7"
AB-41/43 are good rat machines, give them a chance 🙏 The kill sound bytes are legendary! Wish it were a mod...
spookston bringing the silly factor, loving the little edits that are showing up more. congrats on 300k :D
On today’s episode of Spookston Suffers: A gargoyle appears, his team disappears, and Revenge CAS strikes Fear.
I borrowed 30 bucks from my brother to get this thing and I never returned them. Those were the best 30€ I ever spend at the game and they werent even mine.
Would love to see a video on the M43 75/46 please
I’ve been waiting for this very video since the BR changes, I’ve loved playing out the is-7 before but now its way more fun
that IS-7 and Object-279 combo is insane
Hey Spookton, I would love if you would play one of the low-tier Swedish big-booms, like the BT-42/Ikv 72. They are usually fun to play (fast) and I'm interested to see how you utilize them.
This man deserves far more, I mean his gameplay is fantastic, his meme edits are perfectly timed, his commentary is hilarious, and his consistency- does anyone else agree with me?
absolutely LOVED the edits.
12:44
I have you on my second monitor while playing something else and you said this right as I was.
Got me off guard Spooks.
Day 25 of asking spookston to play the sad American rat. The m2a2
LVT(A)(4) when!? Attempt 11?
What is not to love about this amphibious derp?
Lmao the editing just keeps getting better, congrats on 300k dude
Congrats on 300k my fury fox
You should play the breda 501 or the premium vrcc
Hey spook how about the Pz.IV J? It's basically a panzer IV but without any turret rotation whatsoever.
It'll be an interesting challenge :)
It's basically a Panzer IV?
It's literally a Panzer IV.
@@haatonofthebasementoutofth276
Panzer 4 but without electric turret ring
It is objectively worse then the H
I always love the SFX Spookston puts in his videos it always cracks me up
0:47 killed me
The cut out instantly after being bombed gets me every time.
try 78 can you make a video about the centauro 105 It is an italian light tank that is really fast so I guess it fits your playstyle
My main question: Why 9 machine guns???
I’m pretty sure the M2 has more machine guns
The IS7 was pretty much invulnerable to any western tank at the time it was made, but the advent of recoilless rifles and HEAT launchers made infrantry the largest threat to the IS7. So, I’m guessing they just decided to slap a lot of machine guns on as a result.
right after I get a 10 kill game on the 279, you post this. the stars have aligned
The edits you are doing are amazing and funny, keep it up
Day 58 of asking Spookston to play the concept 3, it is a very fast and fun light tank that is pretty good even though it only gets solid shot
seen the is7 a surprising amount lately, just quit playing france 7.3 and 7.7 for now cause its maddening to have to be lucky on a flank while super heavies with light tank mobility can just hold W and go through you and your entire team with no thought, no consideration nor any shame cause too many people would just outright cheat if they could without risk of consequences, 279 is a way to do that, its a powertrip.
anyways atleast when i actually feel like playing this scam of a game its the full french 8.3 lineup which atleast kind of has proper spaa, specifically to counter cas and 279/t55am1.
funny that its still a horror game cause i still have to ambush, snipe or generally catch them unaware cos of their mobility, stab and superior firepower. glancing blows on the 279 never work either of course even with darts. not to mention flanking and stalking vehicles for a long while just to get picked off by some atgm heli 3-5km away or strafed out till unavoidable death.
thanks for playing this so we dont have to, thanks for the videos.
It's always hard to counter Cas or an obj 279.
Cas even when you kill them half the time they get to drop their bombs anyways or when you shoot the tail rotor off a helicopter and it perfectly stabilizes to missile spam you (Even though Heli's cannot do that.).
The object 279 is also just as hard to counter simply because Gajin refuses to let that thing lose. It's immune to bombs, immune to most physical forms of damage, and is almost impossible to track.
The 279 might have had one sheet of paper that said it could survive a nuke. Though even then it wasn't directly in the nuke.
@@aiedenoldstien9751 exactly, especially cas, its this great equalizer that lets every moron and their petty 2 braincells get free kills for spamming spacebar at what may aswell be ants to pilots.
especially cancerous when you get the drop on a bushed up object 279 who is 5-9 kills in, just for them to come back in a il28, heli or su11(?).
you can do everything right with a vehicle like the lorraine 40t or char 25t or any of the american heavies that just shouldnt realistically be able to kill any 279 with brain matter and then still get punished. same goes for all vehicles, got the drop on a tiger 2h in a comet? time to get strafed to death, flank and ruin a vidar with a amx13 or m26? time to get bombed or rocket'ed or gunpod'ed by that one swedish jet.
god its such retarded game design, if it can be considered a game.
I like the new edits like when you scaled up the box mag or the "gargoyle" lol
I love your videos and decal !
Russia at 8.0 is such a pain recently it's unreal, so much fun grinding out T-54 (:
But, but... but what about Russian bias?
@@harryshuman9637 Russian "bias" only start at t80bvm.. The whole tree is painful as fuck.
I mean the T34 85s are fun
Day 24 of begging for the Type 87 RCV
*Complains about no support from teammates*, *Teammate comes and supports him*, *Downplays the teammates support*
You really upped your meme-game. The hydraulic press especially got me
One must imagine spookston play a game where he doesn't die from Cas
that's all ground battle consists of
i can relate @@almightyhavi4804
Loved the editing in this one very funny
always nice waking up to a new spookston video
Absolutely love the edits. 🤙🤙
I love the sound effects u include from other games
you went wild with the editting on this one lol
Your editing is on point. Laughed my ass off ♥️
damn i was not expecting the stalker clear sky music from spookston of all people
The editing is top teir today good sir
Nice editing lately!
loved the increased amount of music, very comedic
As you've experienced, the XM-1 (GM and Chrysler) are essentially light tanks with thin armor (even in downtiers against heat slingers, solid AP or APHE) and mediocre gun (for it's BR and what it faces regularly). It only has speed to compensate for its flaws.
Definitely worth a video.
i have one thing to say about these videos, never put them on to sleep to, you will either get jumpscared after you wake up from a nightmare or you wont be able to sleep because youre laughing too much, shame too because spookstons voice is rather soothing
the editing has recently gone crazy
keep uo the good work and play hstvl
"I am not a fan of the teammate excuse"
-Makes it almost every single video.
I love how you don't make being a furry your entire personality, and instead focusing on great editing and gameplay, cheers man.
Congrats on the 300k dood, always nice to see your uploads. would be dope if you could play the AMX-13 FL11, its my go to when i wanna be funny and it works pretty well, would love to see how you could do with it :D
this editing has been pleasurable for my rotting attention span.
I find it funny that I cannot find a spookston video that I haven’t watched and normally I just check in very 2 seconds to see if a new vid has spawned
"I can take on multiple tanks, no problem"
In a battle?
In a battle, right Spookston?
Legends say Spookston stil searches his team on the minimap
9:06 That was so damn random and out of context.
That's why I like your videos.
13:29 I have had the thought, multiple times, that an ASU-57 would make the sickest racecar bed.
Spookston: I'm gonna play an overpowered vehicle
CAS: yeah good luck with that
Looking forward to seeing your video on the Tortoise after watching Odd's video!
Hey spookston!
I dont comment often but i just wanna say that i really like the editing :)
6:28 when shes on yo brick but you a gangsta
Love the memes in this one in particular. More please!
My favorite is watching spookston shoot light armored cars with enormous guns and thinking of the "coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb" meme
I'm glad to know the team just vaporizing is not me being paranoid, happened countless time where I see a 10 vehicle assault on a point and after looking away for 5 minutes they all disappeared, people need a tutorial on going from point to point instead of rushing their spawn and dying
love the editing
5:50 music in a Spookston video? We do live in incredible times
One must Imagine Spookston happy.
6:47 OH GOD NOT AGAIN!
One must imagine spookston having a fun time
One must imagine spookston happy.
